I just can't decide 🤔

Does anybody else have similar dilemmas?

I wouldn't buy them in a newsagent's in SouthKen - you don't want to end up spending all your money on a tiny bar of Aero. That bubble has sooo burst.
Buy them at B and M somewhere near Newcastle you'd get 20 Raspberry Ruffles for £4 up here. so I have heard

What's the rate of reaturn? How many of each type of chocolate bar do I have to eat before I gain a pound?

EdmundCleverClogs · 12/02/2018 09:50

Ffs, you again? Bet you’re sitting in bed with your imaginary chocolates and an imaginary cup of non-wanky tea. Bore off troll.

HotelEuphoria · 12/02/2018 09:58

you don't even have to do the maths. The supermarket does it for you. Price per 100g on the shelf.

The obvious answer is more chocolate for less money.

TerfsUp · 12/02/2018 09:59

Can you rent out a couple of the bars and get a reasonable ROI?

So how about chocolate oranges from Poundland? I could rent out each segment. I'm sure the bansk would be pleased with my investment

As long as you buy the Chocolate from the shop at the Portland, that’s the main thing....

Orchardgreen · 12/02/2018 10:03

Whatever you choose, be sure to eat it in your listed (not) house, in the village where you can't make friends because no one else is like you, i.e. Very young and very rich.

Ahh OP you're just showing off that you can AFFORD 4 chocolate bars!

AHedgehogCanNeverBeBuggered · 12/02/2018 10:03

I think the bottom is about to fall out of the chocolate market

I wish the same could be said of my bottom. Sad Too much chocolate! OP heed my warning - do not eat the chocolate, it will make you fat! Send it to me once you have purchased it and I will eat it keep it safe.

AssetRichIncomePoor · 12/02/2018 10:05

Is this a stealth boast thread?

LittleLionMansMummy · 12/02/2018 10:06

Screw you and screw your fucking chocolate dilemma. It would be a nice 'problem' to have op. Angry

doctorcuntybollocks · 12/02/2018 10:08

This is too large a decision for you. Send the money to me and I will buy the bars.

floriad · 12/02/2018 10:09

Small bars.

I don't like the taste of "stale" chocolate...

BadgersBum · 12/02/2018 10:14

It depends if the one bar is going to be the only bar you have, if you're buying additional bars you now have to take into consideration the Stamp Duty these days. If both options are in addition to a bar you already own, it doesn't make much difference which way you go.

If you buy a bar need a school you might also need to think about putting up penguin bollards to keep the CFs from blocking your access to it.

EdmundCleverClogs · 12/02/2018 10:19

Did my very tongue in cheek post seriously get deleted??!!!

You live in a house where chocolate gets stale after opening?

KateAdiesEarrings · 12/02/2018 10:24

Don't be fooled by the wrappers. They might look shiny and new on the outside but they could be mouldy and crumbling inside. It's a difficult decision. Don't rush it.

floriad · 12/02/2018 10:25

C8H10N4O2

Yes....? I mean, not always. But it has occured. Our lovely chocolate, lebkuchen hearts spolied after Christmas... :(

(there were too many and I didn't think of freezing them. Which I do with chocolate bars, btw...)

52FestiveRoad · 12/02/2018 10:27

I think you are actually slumming it a bit. To buy a decent box of chocolates you need more than £4. But you can at least rent the box out after you have eaten them (disclaimer- only if you live in London)

LakieLady · 12/02/2018 10:31

If you got 4 small ones, you could eat one yourself and rent out the other 3.

SumThucker · 12/02/2018 10:34

Haha OP Grin

Aww what was it Edmund?

It's happened to me, it's infuriating Grin

CakeOfThePan · 12/02/2018 10:40

I rent one its shit, you never feel like you can truly enjoy it as you don't know when the landlord might take it back.

EdmundCleverClogs · 12/02/2018 10:40

SumThucker it’s ok, they’re reinstating it apparently (thank you). I jokingly used the ‘troll’ word and I think it didn’t completely translate I wasn’t being serious Blush.
